Every effort will be made to insure success. Several disastrous fires have occurred in the city during the last five years. In the fall of 1866, the block of business houses on Neil street, between Church and Hill streets, was mainly destroyed; a portion of the burnt district was rebuilt, and in 1870 the entire block was again swept by the destroying element. These were frame buildings, and the loss in both fires was about $40,000. The ground is now covered by the magnificent brick blocks known as Larned's and Union Blocks. In 1867 three or four frame buildings on Walnut street and University avenue, and a portion of Mr. Beidler's lumber yard, were consumed; loss about $16,000. In July, 1868, the entire block covered with buildings, between Market and Walnut streets and University avenue and Main street, was destroyed, excepting two brick buildings standing upon opposite corners of the block. We are unable to ascertain the estimated loss, but it was great. The most of this territory has since been covered with fine brick blocks. One of these, that owned by Col. W. N. Coler, was destroyed by fire in 1871. In 1869, the furniture manufacturing establishment of Walker Brothers, and the carriage and wagon shops of Geo. Ely, were destroyed, and upon the old sites there have arisen fine substantial brick buildings that will compare favorably with any in this part of the State There are a number of old and dilapidated frame business ranges, but these are fast disappearing, giving place to beautiful blocks of brick or stone; and generally we challenge any city of the State, of its population and years, to show as many equally valuable and beautiful business houses or residences. This is due, not only to the presence of men of restless energy, but also to the energy and thrift of the agriculturists of the county, who have given their countenance and support to the advancement of this young city. As an evidence of the growth and prosperity of the city, we give here a few short notices of Shot Guns and Flasks. TOP AND OPEN BUGGIES, And all kinds of Light Work. Also, EXPRESS & SPRING WAGONS. Especial Attention Given to Repairing in all its Branches. Factory, Corner Neil and North Streets, CHAMPAIGN, ILL. the principal business men, and refer our readers to their business cards found in this book. Dry Goods Merchants. Miller & Toll, in Marble's Block Main street, have one of the finest stores in Eastern Illinois, and one of the largest and best assorted stocks of goods in that line to be found. They are enterprising men of the first class. C. S. Morehouse, No. 3 Main street, well and extensively known, ranks second to none as an enterprising, successful merchant. Since the advertisement of Mr. Morehouse was printed, he has moved his extensive stock to the splendid store, No. 3 Main street-Beasley's old stand. Eichberg & Bros., in the old McLaurie Block on Main street, a e models of their class, having a large and well appointed store. S. McFadden, corner University avenue and Market street, is the oldest merchant in the city. The beautiful brick block owned and occupied by him, gives evidence that his labors have been marked with that energy and fair dealing that must ever secure success. Grocery Merchants. Of these, C. B. Whitmore, No. 4 Main street, takes deservedly high rank, and is too well known to require comment. From exceedingly small beginnings, he has through years of industry, acquired a popularity and a capital enjoyed by few. E. Ellis, in Wright's old stand, Main street, has one of the neatest stores in the county, and gives promise of abundant success. J. Rigg & Son, in their new store in Union Block, Neil st, have no superiors as business men, or in the variety of their goods; while Pollock & Dodson, at corner of Neil and Hill streets, give ample proof of first class business qualities. Strong Brothers, in Marble's Block, corner of Main and Walnut streets, do a business second to none in the State outside of Chicago. Of the Boot and Shoe Merchants, D. Rugg, at the corner of Church and Neil streets, is the oldest in the city, and holds first rank. What he cannot supply in his line, parties need not look for. He is about to build a fine brick block where his store now stands, which will add much to the attractions of his well appointed store. Of Clothing Merchants, J. Kuhn, next door to National Bank, Main street, ranks among the first in Eastern Illinois; his large stock of goods shows that he is well acquainted with the wants of the public. S. Bernstine, corner of Main and Market streets, is the oldest clothier in the city, and holds no second place among men of his class in any place, which also may be said of N. Stern & Co., on Main street, near bank of Burnham, Condit & Co. They are business men whose presence would be an honor to any town. Wm. Roberts, Neil street, merchant tailor and clothier, is also doing a thriving business. Pistols and Cartridges. J. T. PEARMAN, PHYSICIAN & SURGEON, Office, Barrett's Block, Cor. Neil & Main Sts., CHAMPAIGN, ILL. Of the Druggists, we hazard nothing in saying that the store of L W. Faulkner, in Union Block on Neil street, 3d door north of Church, has no superior in the beauty of its finish, its proportions, its order, and its appointments throughout, in the State outside of Chicago, and would be a credit, both in store and stock, to any city in the Union. Mr. Faulkner is a druggist of twenty years experience, and has no superior in the land. H. Swannell, in Barrett's Block, corner of Neil and Main streets, is the oldest druggist in the city. He commenced business in a very small way where Howard's butcher shop now stands, and has worked himself up to his present high position among the business men of the State, and in the confidence of the public, in which no one is his superior, which furnishes the best possible proof of his worth. Nat. Green & Co., corner of Main and Walnut streets, have the neatest establishment of the kind to be found in this or any other city, and those who know "Nat" need no further words from us. Of our Jewelry Stores we feel to boast. L. C. Garwood's establishment on Main street cannot be excelled in the amount, the worth, and the variety of his stock, in any city of the State out of Chicago; while D. Wingard, in Burnham's old bank building, has a reputation for quality of work and goods, second to none. Of Hardware men, C. G. Larned is king. His fine brick |
